Let’s ponder life’s enigmas for a moment: why does the Bermuda Triangle have such discerning taste in its victims? Why does printer ink cost more than a succulent steak? And perhaps most baffling of all, why has it taken an eternity for One Punch Man season 3 to finally grace our screens? Well, hold onto your capes, folks, because Saitama is gearing up to punch his way back into our lives!
For the uninitiated, One Punch Man is the shonen anime that turns the genre on its head. Our protagonist, Saitama, is blessed (or cursed) with the ability to defeat any adversary with a single punch — hence the name. It’s a double-edged sword because while he’s virtually unbeatable, he’s also perpetually bored. Over two seasons, we’ve seen him dispatch monsters, robots, and aquatic creatures alike, all with the enthusiasm of someone sorting through coupons.
Now, here’s the kicker: the One Punch Man manga boasts over 200 chapters, yet season 2 only scratched the surface, wrapping up at Chapter 85. There’s a wealth of untapped narrative potential waiting to be explored, especially the much-anticipated clash between Saitama and Garou (though Saitama is probably more interested in finding the best grocery deals).
As for the burning question of when One Punch Man season 3, episode 1 will hit our screens, we’re on standby. Rumor has it the new season is slated for a 2024 premiere. Kaito Ishikawa, the voice of Genos, even dropped hints on X (formerly Twitter) back in January, teasing his involvement in the 2024 lineup, including One Punch Man. February brought us a tantalizing trailer, promising explosions and shiny new animation.
While the exact release date remains elusive, all signs point to “soon.” So, don’t wander too far — the moment that premiere date drops, you can count on us to deliver the news faster than Saitama can land a knockout punch.
